How to add contributing fields to unique values?

Hi, I seem to be stuck with something pretty trivial. I have events with users and corresponding hostnames, eg:

User Hostname
user1 hostA
user1 hostB
user2 hostA
user2 hostC
user3 hostD

 

I want to count unique user-hostname values and show the contributing hostnames for users that have used more that 1 hostname like this:

User Hostnames used
user1 hostA hostB
user2 hostA hostC

 

This seems to take care of the first part of the task:

 

 

| stats dc(Hostname) as uh by User
| search uh > 1

 

 

 

How can I add the contributing Hostnames?

Formatting is not so important - it may be one field with all the hostnames like in the example above, or multiple fields, or one field together with the User field.

 

Thank you.
